The screenshots seem smexy and the premise sounds like it would be interesting. I get a feeling that the high road MIGHT need more of a deterrent than just fall damage (as scouts can basically circumvent that anyway.) Not sure what it could be, though.

The respawn timers are baaaaaaaad. If you really want to experiment with them then I suggest you reduce the timer for the team who has moved the enemies flag from their base. That would help them to pull the flag out of the base. Once the flag is captured or returns then set the timer back to default.

imo reduce the height variant at mid to about 2/3 of what it is now, 3/4 if not. Its close to the peak of a rocket jump to get up top and no1 likes being airshot at eye level because they couldnt get enough extra height to strafe without pausing for a second. too high right now.

There were also a few clipping and texture issues in the screens. Also there were some roofs of buildings that were clipped off but were shorter than the mid which made little sense to me and kinda annoyed me when I tried to jump on or over them.

Map looks good. I'd suggest reskinning it or redoing the lighting so it doesnt feel/look so much like sawmill. an alpine brighter theme might do the map justice imo.

1 is a clipping error. i got stuck on it

2 and 4 are places i feel like i shouldve been able to jump to

3 is a messed up texture on the forward face of the stair.

One thing I can tell you for sure is that I'm not planning it to look so much like sawmill. Once I start detailing I've got a slightly different theme in mind.

I had no idea where I was going.

Are the giant cylinders supposed to be trees?

[Dr. Spud]

so I updated it to a2, with some good fixes. But for some reason the game won't end once the timer ends. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Until then I guess just wait for a3.

Ok I updated it to a3. It's the same as a2 just with the timer fix. And these are the changes:
